Maybe don't change a thing...
You can file to terminate the father's parental rights, but that might just stir things up and have the reverse impact.
If the biological father has no interest in being a parent, he may agree to termination. It would then be possible to have a step-father adopt the child if there is a step-dad in the child's life.
